Where do you want the user to focus their attention. The now with 354% more awesome is where the eye is immediately drawn I would say (I, in fact, find it quite distracting as my eye is drawn to it all the time). Great for promoting your own branding. If you want people to look at the content then maybe drop the red background colour back a bit? Dunno.
Obviously you are always going to have this trouble due to the type and amount of content but there are so many boxes screaming for my attention on the front page it is difficult to work out where to look first and what is or should be important to me as a user. I should point out that I am viewing the site on an ASUS eeePC so the screen size is small so maybe that is affecting my impression. The site looks great on the small screen BTW. 2008/12/16 James McGlinn <[email protected]> > Hi guys, > > We've finally redesigned the Eventfinder website: > > http://www.eventfinder.co.nz > > It was 18 months since any design work had been done on Eventfinder, while > we were busy working on other events sites.
